Egyptian blogger Abdel Monem Mahmoud was imprisoned for his spirited defense of fellow Egyptian blogger, Kareem. Although Kareem is very critical of Islam and Mahmoud is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, he defended the former’s free speech rights. He spent 46 days in Southern Cairo Torah Prison, where he was tortured. He was released in June. The Egyptian authorities are no fonder of the Muslim Brotherhood than they are of people like Kareem. They aim to control criticism, regardless of its content. They employ all manner of torture, including rape, which has been documented on video sharing services, regardless of age or gender. According to a post on his blog today (Nora Younis via GVA), he is being threatened again.
